Chef Paul Arias

Paul Arias makes his return to The Lodge after originally helping open A.R. Valentien as sous chef in 2002. A Los Angeles-area native and graduate of the Los Angeles Culinary Institute, he takes his inspiration from farm-to-table pioneers like Chef Jeff Jackson who mentored him on a more naturalistic approach to food.

Today, Arias is the Executive Chef at Oceana Coastal Kitchen in Mission Bay, CA. He heartily embraces seasonal local ingredients and provisions, bringing that creative California spirit to the kitchen.
